Song Guanchao didn't know much about Gaoshui County, and he didn't know anyone there.
Besides, he couldn't openly investigate this matter; he could only first look into it in secret, and he had to first confirm whether it was true.
Of course, the most important point was that he had learned about County Magistrate Cao Xiaolou privately withholding and misappropriating earmarked education funds from that teacher, Yang Ling.
Song Guanchao was long past the age of acting on impulse; he couldn't possibly trust someone completely just because of a few casual words.
To put it bluntly, what if what Yang Ling said wasn't true?
What if there was something else behind it?
Once you become a leader, the biggest taboo is listening to only one side and trusting blindly.
Especially when it involves accusations against other leaders.
Even if it takes more time and effort to investigate, you absolutely cannot easily believe a stranger's report.
Even if it's a real-name report.
